=T= is for Tourney 'twixt the White and the Gold. But 'tis fought with balls instead of swords bold.
=U= is uniform. When that badge we wear We must look to upholding Northrop's standards so fair.
=V= for Valentine party, which the seventh form had. Favors, verses, and dancing made our hearts glad.
=W= for Winter Sports. There's no fun more thrilling, Whether skating or sliding or in the snow spilling.
=X= is unknown, so why trouble with it. We'll leave it alone and not wear out our wit.
=Y= is for Yells. We give them with vim When sports are on foot in our lower gym.
=Z= for Zipper boots, our greatest delights. Zip off the last minute and fly up two flights.

Early in the fall the sevenths and eighths had a number of baseball games. Although the sevenths tried very hard, they were always defeated. However, spring is coming, and they may have better luck.
In midwinter when games are indoors, captain ball is the popular sport. The two classes always play two games. In the first one the sevenths were badly beaten, but in the second they came close to victory with a score of 3 to 2.
The winter outdoor fun is on a bumpy, crooked hill back of school used for sliding. Down it goes a continuous stream of sleds, toboggans, and skis. Sometimes an overloaded sled drops a passenger on the way, and sometimes a load lands upside down in a drift, but it's all part of the fun.
At the beginning of school the seventh form were guests of the eighth form at the opening League party. We danced a great deal, and we laughed at the Wild West show and the autoride of by-gone days. Then we climbed to the top floor for refreshments and more laughing.
On the eleventh of February to return the courtesy, we invited the eighths to a valentine party. After decorating our guests with gay caps, we danced for a while. The event of the day, however, was the valentine boxes. There were three fat ones stuffed with valentines for us all. By the time we had exclaimed over them, we were ready to have refreshments. Cheers of appreciation ended the party.
